"No tertium quid" by Sofia Kioroglou





In search of a morally univocal answer

There is either right or wrong,

No tertium quid, no equivocity



Seek for the truth,

and meet with scandals and horrors

in multivocal clamor



You do not need bombs and bullets

to hush people's gums and blur the truth

Terror can be masqueraded as substantive laws



Superpowerism as a promotion

A regression of freedom into monarchical dictatorship.

Eric Arthur Blair mutters over his Chardonnay



The truth is diluted like wine

the sheeple are thrown into a quagmire

“Liberty is telling people what they do not want to hear"
